Feeding Stock.

Where stock OF all kinds is kept uuder
one shelter and fed at the barn. some
distinction should be made between the
animals required for production and
those that are simply retained fo- future
purposes. The COW that IS in fun Tow Of
milk requires food different in character
from the COW that has beer dried of

arrives for being fattened for the butch

lndiscriminately, il a routine way. and
while they may have been allowed all
that IS required, it becomes wastefgI
practice 10 feed that which NAV be dis
pensed with under certain circumstau-
ces. Without liberal supply Of food
the cows cannot produce large Ouant-
ties Of milk, and the most economical
system OF feeding a good cow is to use
her for converting the cheaper hay and
grain into the higher priced milk or
butter. II viii not pay 70 feed inferior
food, or that which is lacking n the
elements necessary for milk production.
The COW that has been dried of ana is
waiting to come in fresh must also be
fed intelligently, not only to provide
food for herself and embryo calls but to
bring her into good condition when she
is ready for milk but she will not have
that heavy drain on her system which
pertains to the cow in full flow The
steer, if fully matured, and il the season

very ordinary rations until the tine ar

The Washington Monument.

For a number of years there had exist
ed in the minds of few persons doubts
as to the sufficient size and stability of
the foundation. These apprehensions
becoming widespread, joint commits
sion was appointed by Congress, consist
ing of the President of the United
States, the Vice President of the mon
ument society, the Chief of Engineers
of the Army, and the architects of the
Capitol and treasury, with instructions
To make an investigations of the work
already done and TO direct and super
wise the completion of ths structure.
This joint commission caused a special
investigation to be made by capable en-
glneers, who reported that the FONDA
tion was in an unsatisfactory condition,
and that it would be "unsafe to subject
it to any additional load whatever, -
The embodiment of these Facts in the
commissions first report to Congress
led to the enactment OF q Joint resolu-
tion June Il, 1878, authorizing the ex-
penditure of "S3G, 600, if deemed adyis-
able, in giving greater stability to the
foundation
An anecdose of this date related BY
a weli-known citizen of New York may
illustrate the anxiety felt at that period
as TO the safety of that structure. Pres
ident Hayes had taken out the New
Yorker for an afternoon drive, and the

There is a superstition among railroad

was caused by broken axle on the bag

ing Atlanta, u corpse was placed on the
baggage car, to be taken to Forest. At
that station the corpse was removed from
the car headforemOst, notwithstanding the
porter, Jack Burgess, vigorously protested.
lie told Baggagemaster John Eny that an
accident would surely occur before the
train reached Macon. Sure enough, one
did occur. As the baggage car bounced up

broke, John shouted out; "What tell yer,
